A three-vehicle crash injured at least four and blocked Highway 99E two miles south of Brooks.

The highway was closed in both directions and a short detour was established after the crash that occurred around 7 p.m.

Preliminary information provided by Oregon State Police Sgt. Tim Plummer on scene indicated that a vehicle headed south on 99E made a left turn onto Scott Avenue NE. A white van behind that vehicle also attempted to turn left, causing an oncoming northbound vehicle to slow down. A northbound red pickup behind the vehicle that slowed attempted to drive around it toward the center of the highway, hitting the back of the white van.

The truck ricocheted into the southbound lane and collided with an Acura that was behind the white van. The pickup came to a rest on its top in a driveway on the west side of the highway.

A Life Flight helicopter landed at the scene, but officials said it appeared the injured were taken to the hospital by ambulance.
